Case summary

10 months ago

The player from Manitoba had reported that PlayOJO offered a 10% cashback on losses but cancelled the offer when it was time for the payout. Despite multiple losses and the player considering self-exclusion several times, they had continued playing in anticipation of the cashback. The player claimed that the casino owed them thousands of dollars. After a thorough review of the provided evidence, we found that there was no specific promise of a cash-back bonus for the disputed month. It was clarified that bonuses were a goodwill gesture from the casino and were not guaranteed. Unfortunately, we were unable to assist the player in receiving the anticipated bonus.

Playojo revoked offer when it came time to pay me.


After taking a break from gambling I decided to try again with a casino that I used to use regularly.  PLAYOJO


In the first month I lost repeatedly, the odds were ABSOLUTELY terrible and just when I was about to close my account again they offered me 10% of my losses back.  They told me that I would be given this offer every month as long as I continue to play and did not use any self-exclusion tools (clearly coercive tactics to keep problem gamblers gambling).  I did so.  I kept the account open and continued to play.  Each time I’d get to a point where I wanted to self exclude myself I wouldn’t because I knew at the end of the month I’d get some money back.  


December 2023 was the worst month of losses I’ve ever had.  Again, I wanted to self exclude but did not for fear of losing my cash back offer.  Finally it came time for them to pay me back and nothing came.  


I reached out to them and they told me that they cancelled the offer.  I explained that I’d kept my end of the deal and deserved to be paid what they promised but instead they just said that they reserve the right to cancel any of their offers without notice or reason.


PlayOJO OWES ME THOUSANDS and they refuse to pay.

Hello contactjoelboily,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint and I'm really sorry to hear about your issue with PlayOJO Casino. Please allow me to ask you a few more question before we would move forward.

Could you please advise if your account is already verified and if yes, since when exactly? Is there any proof of the promised cash-back bonus? Did you have to meet any conditions in order to receive the cash back? Did you process any withdrawal last month? When was the last time you spoke to the casino and what was it about?

Looking forward to your answer.

Regards,

Nick

yes, I have an email stating my account was verified on Oct 18th, 2023. I also have an email outlining the cashback offer. The terms for the cash back offer were stated as meet a minimum deposit amount of $100, have no restrictions on my account and refrain from using any self-exclusion tools. I withdrew $8,481 in the month of December but deposited over $30,000.


I’ve attached screenshots of the emails.

I spoke to the casino on January 1st about this issue. Their response was that they reserve the right to revoke any offer for any reason.

Hello contactjoelboily,

Did you receive the cash-back e-mail in December? Was there any indication that the bonus was active? Would it be possible to forward the e-mails to nikolas.b@casino.guru instead of screenshots here?

I’m forwarded the emails. There was nothing specific in December that indicated the cash back offer but I received it 2 months in a row and the offer said it would be every month.

Hello contactjoelboily,

Unfortunately it is nowhere promised that you will get a cash-back bonus for that specific month. Bonuses are always a good-will of the casino any it is entirely up to them whether the player receives a bonus or not. Also these cash back bonuses are counted automatically by the system not by casino staff and the reason of not receiving it may be cause by not meeting the conditions set by the system to receive one.

As we can't force the casino to give out free bonuses, is there anything else we could assist you with?
